Will he make it as a solid #3 starter or w/he turn into Cole Irvin?

I think Irvin would be a lower end result for him, though not his floor as its entirely possible he flames out and doesn't stick. I don't think he's got much upside for front-of-rotation because his stuff is just ok, but I do think he's got as better stuff than either Irvin or Kremer and that he has a good feel for pitching, so perhaps he could.
If I had to project, I'd say he's a reliable starter for the next several years but not we're particular concerned about extending or re-signing.

Stuff doesn't seem at all special, so he really has to lean into his command.
Reasonable expectations seem back-end starter. That's actually good (being a ML starter is good), and you can certainly dream something ticks up like a John Means.
Ticks down in command push him off, ticks up in stuff elevate him some.

I think he's ultimately a 3/4 or even a 5 in a great rotation. Stuff is good not great but a good pitch mix and knows how to use it.

Its the breaking stiff that has to get better. Thats what Texas pounded the other day. Fastball is effective. THink the change can be effective. Both the slider and curve flash at times but too often just seem like spinners

I think Povich's breaking stuff is solid, but he just has to consistently command it. It was an issue in the minor leagues and still is one.
